Hon Deputy Speaker, let me unequivocally convey my heartfelt apologies to those learners in Limpopo for the late delivery of textbooks. We neither wish to defend nor condone it. Let me also take heart from and empathise with those learners who wrote those very polite and eloquent letters to the President. At least we can take comfort from the fact that they are indeed literate and have a good command of the language. Having said that, perhaps I should try to explain to you that the challenges of education are enormous. We should recognise that in Limpopo, every Grade 1, 2 and 3 child to whom textbooks were to be delivered, but were not, had indeed received a workbook on literacy, numeracy, life skills and first additional language by the beginning of the year. In other words, ... [Interjections.] Well, it is an apology, but at the same time ... [Interjections.] Please, you wanted an explanation ... [Interjections.]
